Planning garment orders for Houston

Four seasons, with fall-winter ranges ordered by spring and spring-summer by autumn; peaks include Black Friday, back-to-school and the holiday season. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to New York/New Jersey in about 30–45 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Houston three to five months ahead.

How an order reaches Houston

Goods for Houston are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at New York/New Jersey, which is Houston itself, so clearance and delivery happen locally. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.

Importers in Houston usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.

Why importers in Houston source garments from India

Buyers want cotton T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, activewear, sustainable fabrics, ethnic and fusion wear, school uniforms and promotional apparel. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Houston who test a range before they commit to larger orders.

Importers and brands in New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Atlanta supply retailers and online sellers; ethnic-wear wholesalers buy kurtis and kaftans; uniform and promotional firms buy polos, caps and hoodies. A mixed first container with two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles is the usual way in, and repeat orders then concentrate on what sells.
